Sodium Phytate
Sodium Phytate
A plant-derived chelator (the salt of phytic acid) that binds metal ions to keep a formula stable — a natural EDTA alternative.
What it does
Sodium phytate comes from phytic acid, found in plant seeds, and works as a chelator: it binds trace metals that would otherwise destabilize a product or dull its color. Brands that avoid synthetic EDTA often choose it for the same protective role. It is used at low levels to safeguard the formula.
